We climbed up the old man of storr in April. The views were absoloutley stunning. we did want to get drone footage but it was extremly windy. If you are going, not that it can get windier the higher up you go and it's nice to take snacks to have at the top while you take in this breathtaking view. But do take your trash with you. We absoloutley enjoyed our trip there. …

There is a pay and display car park at Storr which we found to be pretty busy. There are two different routes you can choose, we decided on the one to the left and started the walk up to the old man, and found this pretty hard going.

However only took 2 hours to do the walk up and down. …

One of the highlights of the Trotternish peninsula. Only 6 miles north of Portree. It’s a bit of a slog up to the Old Man but they are in the process of building a rather attractive stone path, the views are spectacular and you can be back at the car within 2 hours. You can’t leave Skye without doing this walk!…
